The trailer for ‘Kipchoge: The Last Milestone’ is officially out

Eliud Kipchoge has no doubt been one of the most exciting and inspiring athletes of our time, and he has easily had the most successful marathon career in history. When he broke two hours in the marathon in 2019, running 1:59:40 at the INEOS 1:59 Challenge, he broke a barrier, accomplishing something that many thought was not possible. Fans now get to relive that experience through the his upcoming film, Kipchoge: The Last Milestone. The official trailer has finally been released, and it will make you want to jump out of your chair and head out for a run.

The movie follows Kipchoge as he trains to break two hours, from his training grounds in Kenya to the high-tech facilities in Europe, and finally to Vienna, where he attempts to break one of the last true milestones in sport. Of course, while the sub-2 marathon has been one of his greatest accomplishments, his career is far from over. Most recently, he won the NN Mission Marathon in the Netherland in 2:04:30, and he will still be the man to beat at the Tokyo Olympics this summer.

The film was produced by Academy Award nominee Ridley Scott and directed by Jake Scott, and the digital release date has been set for August 23. Kipchoge has expressed his excitement for the release in a statement:

“I am incredibly proud to share with you the trailer for my movie Kipchoge: The Last Milestone,” he said. “The movie tells an intimate story of my dream to run under two hours, and shows all those who helped make it a reality. We, together, dared to dream, to attempt the impossible. I hope that day back in October 2019 inspired the world, and I hope that this movie will be a legacy and inspire runners of all ages for many years to come. Thank you for being part of this journey.”
